 Parsing restrictions
@@ -109,15 +109,28 @@
 There are specific parsing rules to respect in order to remain compatible
 with assumptions made by the decoder :
 
-1. The last 5 bytes are always literals
+1. The last 5 bytes are always literals.  In other words, the last five bytes
+   from the uncompressed input (or all bytes, if the input has less than five
+   bytes) must be encoded as literals on behalf of the last sequence.
+   The last sequence is incomplete, and stops right after the literals.
 2. The last match must start at least 12 bytes before end of block.
-   Consequently, a block with less than 13 bytes cannot be compressed.
+   The last match is part of the penultimate sequence,
+   since the last sequence stops right after literals.
+   Note that, as a consequence, blocks < 13 bytes cannot be compressed.
 
 These rules are in place to ensure that the decoder
-will never read beyond the input buffer, nor write beyond the output buffer.
+can speculatively execute copy instructions
+without ever reading nor writing beyond provided I/O buffers.
 
-Note that the last sequence is also incomplete,
-and stops right after literals.
+1. To copy literals from a non-last sequence, an 8-byte copy instruction
+   can always be safely issued (without reading past the input),
+   because literals are followed by a 2-byte offset,
+   and last sequence is at least 1+5 bytes long.
+2. Similarly, a match operation can speculatively copy up to 12 bytes
+   while remaining within output buffer boundaries.
+
+Empty inputs can be represented with a zero byte,
+interpreted as a token without literals and without a match.

 For more compression ratio at the cost of compression speed,
 the High Compression variant called **lz4hc** is available.
